COUNTY TRIPLES

 

The County Triples qualification competition fell victim to the wintery conditions over the weekend with play only possible on Sunday after overnight snowfall prevented travel on Saturday Morning for many players and officials.

Margaret Jenkin (Newlyn Trinity), John Thomas (Penzance) and Nigel Nicholls (Newlyn Trinity) claimed Group One after defeating the Liskeard team of Lynne Davey, Martin Boraston and Gary Davey 9-7 in the final game in the group to finish unbeaten with 6 points +21 shots.  Kath Goodman (Treviscoe) combined with St Newlyn East’s Carol & Graham Ford to claim Group Two unbeaten with 6 +22.  Group Three went down to a final game decider with Illogan’s Bob Williams, Joe Coups & David Studden defeating Holman’s Nicholas Truscott, Karen Watson & Peter Hore 12-5 to finish on 6 +23.  The final game of Group Four went the way of Luxulyan’s David Giles, Betty Temple-Smith & Phil Hicks who defeated nearest challengers St Newlyn East’s Sheila Collins, Margaret Walke & Pam Williams 11-9 to finish on 6 +15.

 

A restaging date for Saturday’s cancelled competition has yet to be confirmed at the time of writing.
